That was certainly a big win for the Bulldogs last week out in Missouri. It was a big win because it was a conference win, a division win, a road win and a win that the team and its fan base really needed. They stepped up and came back time after time and at the very end not only did Georgia "Show Me" but the Dawgs "Showed Us" what "Old Man Football" and "Georgia Football" is all about.

So for all you passionate fans, here are some more notes, nuggets and tidbits of information all things Georgia Bulldogs, statistically speaking of course. For the most complete information on a specific upcoming game please check out the individual sport and game you are looking for on www.georgiadogs.com and for even more statistical insights you can follow me on twitter @dave_mc_stats.

And now for the extra stuff...

Football ---

Georgia's offense has been starting off a little slow, but certainly they have been finishing the drill during its first two games. They have outscored its opponents 33-26 combined in the first half of the games. In the second half, it has been a different story. The Dawgs have outscored their foes 53-17 in the 2nd halves.

One player that has been stepping up in the 2nd half in games this season is quarterback Aaron Murray. The junior seems to be a lot better completing passes after intermission than before which is the opposite of his sophomore season. Now during his freshmen season it was neither the first half nor the second half that showed any advantage.

The last game he tied his career-high by completing 22 passes. It was the 4th time in his Bulldog career that he has completed at least 20 passes in a game. Here are those four games.

Both Marlon Brown and Michael Bennett each had career-highs with 8 receptions in the game against Missouri. It was the first time ever under Mark Richt that two different Bulldogs had at least 8 receptions in the same game.

Marlon Brown had 2 TD receptions. It was the 2nd time that the senior has had 2 TD receptions in a game (other one was against Vanderbilt last season). He is 1 of 7 Bulldogs that have multi-TD receptions in a game more than once under Mark Richt.
Here are those seven players.

Michael Bennett also did something a few other Bulldogs have done. He is 1 of 10 Dawgs to have scored a 2-pt conversion in a game under Mark Richt. His conversion tied the game up at 17 in the 3rd quarter against Missouri. Here is that list.

The placekicking had many fans puzzled last Saturday. Freshman Marshall Morgan missed an extra point, but hit a 52-yard field goal. Four kickers have nailed 50-yard field goals under Mark Richt. Here are those four kickers and how they fared from that distance.

The twenty total since 2001 is the most in the FBS. Here are the top-5 schools with the most long distance 50-yard bombs since 2001.

Jarvis Jones was the Walter Camp Defensive Player of the Week, Bronko Nagurski National Defensive Player of the Week and SEC Defensive Player of the Week and that is just to name a few awards the junior won. Winning multiple weekly awards was a norm for former Georgia defensive end David Pollack. So I decided to take a look on how these two players fared after two games in the marquee season which happens to be exactly 10 years apart.

Women's Basketball ---

Katrina McClain was enshrined into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame this past week. McClain was the Lady Bulldogs first National Player of the Year (1987) and was also a 3-time Olympian (1988, 1992, 1996.) That is just a few of the many honors that she amassed at Georgia and beyond. She has also scored the most points in a season for Georgia by a male or a female. Here is the top-3 most amount of points in a season by any basketball player at Georgia.

Bulldogs in the Major Leagues ---

Gordon Beckham has struggled this season hitting wise batting just .239 through Wednesday's game, but is batting .357 this September including hitting 3 home runs and driving home 7 runs. The 7 RBI brings his season total to 56 and his career total to 212. The 212 is the 4th most by any former Georgia Bulldogs in the majors. Number two on the list is a current Tampa Bay utility player Jeff Keppinger so it will be tough catching him in the near future, but passing the number three player is in reach. Number three is former Dawg Johnny Rucker who wore the red and black from 1936 to 1938. Here is that complete top-5 list (through Wednesday's games.)

Bulldogs in the NFL ---

Last Sunday, Knowshon Moreno scored a touchdown in his first regular season back after having a ACL injury last season. It was his 13th career rushing touchdown and his first since December 12, 2010. His career is still quite young, but it made me think of some of the greats. Here is a list of the top-5 former Georgia Bulldogs by career rushing touchdowns in the NFL (some of them may be surprising.)
